yes, I am doing a banana circle. 9 namwa, 3 Manzano and 3 dwarf reds. any where from 6 ft to 3 ft. p-stem heighth. I cut every leaf off except for the last 2 or 3 depending on how many roots come with them.

just planted 3 iholene [maybe] 3 weeks ago doing the same thing. got them from the west coast of florida. they are starting to put out leaves with a quickness.
